The projects and my team are fantastic, but the out of touch management has led to very poor morale. Stay away! - Anonymous employee AECOM Employee Review

Pros

The projects and my team are fantastic, fun, professional people. Good office location, easy to access from all parts of the city. Flexible hours to suit everyone, whether you are a late riser or an early riser. Money and benefits are okay. Opportunities to relocate to other cities if desired.

Cons

Terrible management - out of tune with the working people. They love yes-men, no individual thinking is encouraged, unless they can steal ideas and take the credit for themselves. Anyone not possessing an engineering degree is below the level of deserving any praise or even acknowlegement of existing - unless it is to dole out reprimands. After all, everyone should be happy that they have a job at all. Raises (0 - 2 %) are pathetic at best - times are tough after all. What did the CEO earn in 2010 in salary, bonuses and stock options? Check it out - it must be tough to manage. If you are looking for a great company to work for - keep looking - this place isn't it. Poor morale!

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
